🦌✨ Rudolph Week is almost here at SCES! ✨🦌 We are so excited to kick off a week full of holiday fun, school spirit, and LOTS of Rudolph cheer! ❤️ A HUGE thank you to our amazing PTO for making the magic happen, every student will receive an adorable pair of antlers to wear on Monday to help us launch Rudolph Week in style! 🥰🦌 We can’t wait to see our halls filled with smiling Cubs, glowing red noses, and festive antlers as we celebrate together. Nothing says Cub Pride like spreading joy and holiday cheer! 💙 #SCESCubs #RudolphWeek #ThankYouPTO #LoveLearnLead #HolidayFun 🦌✨

Due to safety considerations, we will not be able to hold today’s chorus concert. Our top priority is always the safety of our Cubs and Cub families, and we believe this is the best decision for everyone. The good news is that we are excited to share an alternate plan. On Monday, we will host a Holiday Concert in the main hall. Chorus and percussion members are invited to wear festive holiday attire to help bring the spirit of the season to our performance. We will record a high-quality video of the concert with a student audience so families can still enjoy and celebrate our students’ hard work. Families will be able to watch the performance using the link that will be shared once the video is posted. We appreciate your understanding and flexibility, and we hope this special performance will help make up for the change in plans. Thank you for your continued support of our Cubs! 💙🐾

🎁✨ Spreading Holiday Cheer, Cub Style! ✨🎁 During Library this month, Mrs. Glass and Mrs. Katherine helped our Cubs participate in the My Dear Friend program — a beautiful initiative that fights loneliness in nursing homes during the holiday season. 💌❤️ Our students poured their hearts into writing messages of kindness, and together we created HUNDREDS of cards to send out this December. 🎄🤗📝 We also used this moment of giving to kick off our 12 Days of Christmas for our amazing SCES staff… because nothing says Cub Pride like choosing to love, learn, and lead through giving to others. 🐾🎅 So proud of our Cubs and the joy they’re spreading this season! ❄️💙

❄️🎨 Winter Magic in the Courtyard! 🎨❄️ Our 5th grade Cubs were Active Collaborators and helped transform our courtyard into a cozy winter wonderland! ⛄✨ With teamwork, they filled the windows with beautiful winter scenes that bring so much joy to our school. We love watching our Cubs love, learn, and lead in every season! 💙🐾
